Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default Rifle sights on turkey gun

I have 3 turkey guns one has a scope, one has a double beed and one has rifle sights... Out of the 3 I think the rifle sights are the best for turkey hunting... Anybody else agree???

I like my tru-glo all metal adjustable sights.I don't want to take a chance of fogging up a scope or knocking it off.You could bump them in the truck,I don't want anything to snag on bushes either,or How many times have you propped your gun against a tree while setting up,and it fall?

I don't like the beads because on my guns they were not centered 100%,and it was easy to not have my eyes lined up right.You know sometimes you get a tendency to raise up off the stock after a few 3.5's have bruised your cheek.That will 'cause you to shoot over a bird,and leave you feeling sick to your stomach.

After the tru-glo sights my pattern was centered,and I could really tell a difference when the bird was shot.Solid hit vs piece of a load...well..I call it Headless Horseman vs flop and drop.I love to see those little feet kicking in the air,and wings trying to keep balance..to no avail.

With all the craze about scopes and patterns nowadays open sites seem to be for the old school boys!!!So call me old school...I like em too,Magnum Gobble Dot on my trusty old Ithica just keeps layin em in the grass!!

I'll be the odd ball here, but I prefer a scope.

I would say it depends on how close you bring them in. My friends take them from a ways out. I would need a scope to do that. I prefer them in close so the fiber sights that I have work great.

I used to be a scope guy.....I have a 1300 that would shoot off center, and I could not make myself hold off of the gobblers head...so I put a scope on it and choked it down to where I was throwing a pretty dang tight pattern out there.....After Spring Gobblers season last year, i got the hankering for something different and bought a Win Super X2 and put the tru-glo adjustable sights on it and it shoots dead nuts.....so I'm going to have to re-adjust to not having the scope...
